"Hello, I'm Zola Murray. What do you need from me? Why didn't you approach Lydia about this?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Dariel chuckled softly, "The boss chose you for a reason, and it's important we keep this between us." Travis was barely familiar with Zola's father. All she knew was that he was a foreign fugitive, pursued by numerous countries.
"Just letknow what you need, and I'll do what I can, though I can't guarantee results.” Dariel gave a nonchalant shrug and grinned. “Our boss's lab is developing snew drugs and they need someone to test them.

Zola forced a smile, but it twisted into a grimace. "I'm not scared.JustM what does he need from me?"
"He needs intel on Eileen and Bryan. Growing up with the Dawsons, you must know quite a bit. Care to share?" Dariel motioned toward a door nearby. "We've set up a room right next door. After you, please."
